After a serious injury, it’s not always clear what to do next. You may be trying to keep up with medical treatment, dealing with missed paychecks, and answering calls from insurance adjusters—all while still unsure how to hold the other party accountable.
The Law Offices of Supriya Kichloo, P.C. represents people in the Bronx injured in car crashes, slip and fall accidents, or other incidents caused by someone else’s negligence. We’ve seen how overwhelming the aftermath of an accident can be, as victims grapple not just with the injury itself but also with the complexities of the path to compensation. That’s why it’s our mission to make high-quality and reliable legal guidance accessible to all New Yorkers. With legal services in English, Hindi, and Kashmiri, we fight to make navigating a painful accident less stressful for everyone who walks through our doors.
If someone else’s carelessness led to your injury and you’re looking for someone to help you pursue a personal injury claim, now is the time to speak with a Bronx personal injury lawyer.
What Types of Personal Injury Cases Do We Handle?
Our Bronx personal injury lawyers handle a wide range of cases, including:
- Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents;
- Pedestrian and bicycle crashes;
- Unsafe property conditions, including slips and falls;
- Dog bites or other animal-related attacks; and
- Defective or hazardous products.
In these cases, the law looks at whether someone’s negligent actions or inactions caused the accident—and your harm. That might be a driver who ran a red light, a business that left a wet floor unmarked, or a pet owner who failed to control their aggressive dog.
We understand what these injuries can cost. This doesn’t just include bills and lost paychecks but the emotional and physical toll of getting back to work, moving around comfortably, or regaining control of your routine after an injury. A Bronx personal injury attorney helps look beyond the accident to show how your life changed and what support you may need going forward.
What Compensation Can Our Bronx Personal Injury Lawyers Help You Pursue?
An injury can change how you sleep, work, move, or even spend time with the people around you. It can drain your savings, interrupt your income, and leave you paying for a mistake that wasn’t yours.
Our Bronx personal injury lawyers help pursue fair compensation for the financial and personal toll an injury has taken on your life. This may include:
- Economic damages. An injury can come with serious costs, including bills for hospital visits, physical therapy, prescriptions, missed paychecks, or rides to appointments. If the injury limits your ability to return to work, future income may also be part of your claim.
- Noneconomic damages. Some losses can’t be measured in receipts. Long-term pain, emotional distress, or loss of enjoyment in life can all reflect the personal impact of the injury—and may be grounds for compensation.
- Punitive damages. Courts may award additional compensation when someone’s behavior puts others in extreme or intentional danger, such as in some instances of reckless driving. These rare awards are intended to send a message to prevent similar conduct.
It’s common for insurance companies to claim the accident was your fault, or at least in part. However, under New York’s pure comparative negligence rule, you can still seek compensation even if you share some blame. The amount you recover may be reduced based on your share of the fault, but the law doesn’t bar you from filing a claim.
Whether your injuries came from a crash, a fall, or another preventable incident, a Bronx personal injury lawyer considers not only how you were hurt but what it’s cost you—even in cases where fault is shared.
How Does the Claim Process Work?
You may have the right to seek compensation after an accident—but figuring out how to do so shouldn’t fall entirely on you. At the Law Offices of Supriya Kichloo, we work to guide clients through each stage of a personal injury claim. That typically includes:
- Initial consultation. This is your opportunity to meet with a legal professional, explain what happened, and ask questions. There’s no pressure—just a conversation about your options and whether the firm is the right fit for your situation.
- Investigation. If you become our client, we work to review medical records, gather photos, speak with witnesses, and collect other evidence that supports how the injury occurred and who may be responsible.
- Claim filing. Once the details are in place, we help file your claim and take over communication with the insurance company or other parties.
- Negotiation. Insurance companies often try to limit payouts. Your attorney can fight for a resolution that reflects the full impact of your injury—not just what the insurer is willing to offer.
- Settlement or trial. If the other side doesn’t agree to a fair outcome, we help prepare your case for court—presenting it before a judge and jury and advocating for you every step of the way.
In this process, deadlines are crucial. In most personal injury cases in New York, you have three years from the date of the injury to take legal action. However, certain situations—like a crash involving a city-owned vehicle—require a formal notice of claim within just 90 days. Reaching out to a personal injury attorney early can help protect your ability to hold the responsible party accountable.
Trying to manage the claims process alone can lead to missed deadlines or settling for less than the claim is worth. That’s why it matters who handles your case. As a boutique law firm, we know how often clients feel overlooked at larger offices. Here, you’ll work directly with a Bronx personal injury attorney who fights to challenge efforts to downplay your injury and stays committed to pursuing justice on your behalf.
